Diary 27.6.1883


Wednesday June 27

Very fine morning but we are not going any. There is a treat for all the children today in the cabin, they have all to take a tin with them for their tea. Emmeline went and they had tarts and jam and bread and a packet of sweets and nuts to come out with. It looked a bit like Whitsuntide to see them all standing round the cabin door until the bell rang for them to walk in. The Captain was dancing for them, he is very fond of children, it pleased the children very much.
